If Khamzat Is Serious About Fighting At UFC 321

[JoeRowe]

Khamzat vs RDR co-main would be awesome. RDR loves to be active and certainly wouldn't turn down a title shot. I'd rather see Fluffy but beating Rob > beating Dolidze.

Winner fights Imavov/Caio winner around May/June, especially if Khamzat beats RDR because Ramadan is mid-FEB to mid-MAR.

Then Fluffy vs DDP in January/February, and if Fluffy wins he gets a title shot end of 2026.

The rest of MW moving forward:
-Strickland/Izzy can do the rematch they want.
-Costa vs MVP
-Allen vs Whittaker
-Dolidze vs Cannonier

Abu-Dhabi pays a shit ton of money so I don't think a HW Title fight between 2 unproven draws & Khamzat is out of the question. If they can afford Islam, Volk, Khamzat, & Usman on same card. As well as Ilia, Max, Khamzat, Whittaker, this seems feasible. Abu-Dhabi PPVs always bang bro.

Cool looking forward to watch this fuckin guy LayNpray again

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Big card if Khamzat joins this.

 

[Tweak896]

Would be cool. Makes sense that PPVs are going extinct, so we might see top fighters become active again magically.

Although it's sort of shitty that Imavov/Caio gets shafted because of timing and choosing to stay active. Still RDR fight would be fun.

Mm sorry sweetie, but only hardcore fans can appreciate LayNpray grappling. Guess that means you aren’t

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Good. Give him RDR or Fluffy

First it was complaints that he spent too much energy going for the finish and now this one fight later. Good ol sports fans.

 

[Trabaho]

The uneventfulness of the fight, I didn´t see it that way, the lack of damage was cause DDP is that good. First Khamzat fight that wasn´t a great fight to watch. I thought it was still great to watch. So calling him lay n pray is silly

They would still get their turn next year, not entirely shafted. No certainty the winner would be ready to fight again in JAN/FEB anyways if they have a broken hand/foot/orbital etc.

EDIT: Great point on the PPV points. Smart of Khamzat to cash in if he can.

True, but it's still an example of active contenders getting skipped by fighting. MW can use some thinning of contenders, not as bad as WW, but there's a line.

 

[flektarn]

better be serious about it and not just yapping.

 

[podsox]

I thought he was talking about Abu Dubai ppv in October 2026

 

[snugglecakes]

Then Fluffy vs DDP in January/February, and if Fluffy wins he gets a title shot end of 2026.

yur suggesting for somebody to fight twice over the span of a little over a year n a half?

 

[GoWokeGoBroke]

We all know he won’t fight til next August

 

[CC27]

Would be a mistake to fight that soon I think nor do I think he will. Could see maybe Dec vs Caio/Imavov or RDR but more likely Feb.

Could see first Paramount/CBS card being Topuria and or Kayla/Nunes, depends how big they want to go and then Khamzat vs Caio/Imavov or RDR.

 

[El Fernas]

Against who? If his belt is on the line im all in, cant ruin 2 fights in a row.

 

[swizztony]

A British guy and a French guy who can’t wrestle would never be the main event over khamzat in Abu Dhabi

 

[chardog]

Cool looking forward to watch this fuckin guy LayNpray again

2/3 of his ufc fights have been finishes, and the crucifix is a brutal lay and pray method

Why not khamz has some hard fights at 185 though imovov and chio are very well rounded.
Strickland could be dangerous rdr is very well rounded. Those are some serious fights. DDP got it in by fighting all the strikers but he's gonna need to learn the grappling now.

I would like to see if he can build his boxing up better.

He needs some shavkat level striking he has the power though

Face that backup guy
